In this spectacular Irish animated film (nominated for this year’s Best Animated Feature Oscar), taking place in medieval times, young Brendan plays a role in preserving the ancient Book of Kells, an intricately illuminated Latin gospel that is considered to be Ireland’s greatest national treasure. Screen Daily International: “Visually ravishing and doused in Celtic magic.” For ages 8 and up (some scary images). Post-film event: cartoonist/author Steve Bissette will discuss the film after the Saturday, March 20, show. Sponsored by Zutano. 85 minutes. Film website
